c1658 Gabriel Bucelin: "LITHUANIA Obiter Adumbrata," Ulm, map 10.5 x 6.3 cm, in two versions. From the first, 1658, edition of the Swiss genealogist and map author's "Praecipuarum Universi Terrarum Orbis." Historians criticised the map as uninformative (no Vilnius, Trakai, Kaunas, etc. in it) and as an imprecise copy of A. Ortelius’or J. Jansonius’ maps. Created to illustrate the expansion of Protestantism in Lithuania. Published six times between 1650 and 1678.

1673 Gerard Mercator - Jodocus Hondius: "LIVONIA," Amsterdam, 7.2 x 10 inches, in two examples from the fourth and last series of reduced versions of Mercator's atlas published by Amsterdam bookseller Jan Cloppen- burgh. The maps were re-engraved by Pieter van der Keere and are larger than in preceding editions.

1669-70 Richard Blome: "A Mapp of the Estates of the Crowne of Poland, where are the Kingdom of Poland with its Palatinates the Dutches of Russia Noire Cujavia Mozovia Prussia Lithuania Volhynia Podolia &c. . . . 1669," London, 15.5 x 10.5 inches. The earliest folio-sized map of the region engraved in England. While Speed's atlas was published earlier, his plates were engraved and printed in Amsterdam. To finance his work, Blome undertook subscribers, in exchange for a promise to add their coat of arms to certain maps. In later editions, if the renewal fee was not paid, Blome added a different subscriber's coat of arms, leading to multiple images on various editions of the same map. This map's dedication: “To the Right Worshipful Sr. Richard Otley of Pichford, in Shropsheir Knight."
